Phytase activity has been detected for the first time in Bifidobacterium spp. These bacteria were able to dephosphorylate phytic acid (myo-inositol hexaphosphate, IP(6)) and generate several myo-inositol phosphate intermediates (IP(3)-IP(5)). B. globosum and B. pseudocatenulatum were optimally active at neutral-alkaline pH and B. adolescentis, B. angulatum and B. longum at acid pH. B. pseudocat...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of gamma irradiation (γ-irradiation) at doses of 15, 30 and 45 kGy on chemical composition, anti-nutritional factors, ruminal dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) degradibility, in vitro CP digestibility and to monitor the fate of true proteins of full-fat soybean (SB) in the rumen. Nylon bags of untreated or γ-irradiated SB were suspended in ...

Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is the fourth important oilseed in world. After oil extraction, defatted peanut a protein-rich by-product containing around 50% of protein that can enable production isolates (90% protein) and concentrates (70% protein). has an excellent amino acid profile, desirable volatile low level antinutritional factors steady supply. Despite these advantages, underutilised be...

Lentil (Lens culinaris) is an important nutritious crop, grown and consumed throughout the world due to its high macro- micronutrients contents, including minerals. Minerals have several beneficial influences on human health. Thus, lentils play a major role in food security, particularly among low-income countries. The current review aims highlight present knowledge mineral composition of lenti...

A combined dry and wet fractionation process is proposed to extract faba bean proteins with lower environmental impact. This allowed recover 87% of the total seeds (92% dehulled proteins). achieved through production two protein concentrates (54 61% content w/w DM). After fractionation, extraction was performed on protein-depleted fraction. The presented consumed less energy 5.5 times water per...

ABSTRACT Broiler diets are based on corn, soybean and wheat production; however, some protein ingredients have many antinutritional factors low digestibility. The objective of this study was to add a blend exogenous enzymes the feed with nutritional value for broilers reduce production costs improve digestibility while maintaining good zootechnical performance. experimental design completely ra...

The study aimed to evaluate the effect of boiling, air-frying and microwave methods cooking on phytochemical antinutritional activity some vegetables. Total phenolic content was highest in kale (9.70 mg GAE/g) using air frying carrot (9.15 boiling (5.16 methods. vegetables for 15 min depicted a significant increase total flavonoids. Oxalate were significantly reduced by frying, tannins saponin ...
